The Dining Room Project

Happy Monday. Do you sometimes need a weekend from your weekend? I do. I started on a new project these past few days and made lots of progress which sometimes means I need a rest from my days off. Pfew!  I want to share it all with you, let’s start at the beginning.

I’ll call it the dining room project, although it’s really a combination of lots of projects that will add up to a {hopefully} almost complete makeover of the room.

Makeover needed right here.

As you might know, the dining room is the one space in the house that we have not touched since we moved in except to paint the ceiling when we did all the rest of them. This room is a small challenge with wooden slats on the walls, a high chair rail but nice windows and shiny wooden floors. Plus a window seat, great molding and lots of potential.

In a few weeks I’ll be hosting my sister’s bridal shower in this room so I figured it was time to give this space the decor it deserves. Nothing like hosting 30 people to get you to get rid of the left over ceiling paint trim decorate right?

There are lots of things that need to be done in the dining room and since I’m a list kind of girl, here it is:

This list is pretty long, I should stop adding to it but no doubt I will as the project continues.

Remember, this blank slate can only get better looking.
